Although I am kinda "religioned out" right now, I'll read it anyway. Thanks for letting me know, though. Thanks for the forewarning, Dan.

The Principle of the Path is still valid, even if one does not embrace the religious side of it.

Sounds like a great book. I've got a $75 B&N gift certificate that's "burning a hole in my pocket," so I'll use it to grab Stanley's book and a couple of scifi ones when I go out for lunch today. Thanks for sharing this with me. I look forward to reading it. Dan,

The take home point is that "it is your direction, not intention, that determines your destination." For example, we may have the intention of reducing spending this coming year, but if our direction (choices) don't support that, we will not arrive at our destination (reduced spending). Or to phrase it another way, we need to understand that every decision we make has an effect -- there is a cause-effect connection. So we would need to ask, "is this decision taking me in the direction I want to go." This principle applies to every aspect of life and life's goals: family, work, health, spiritual journey, finance, etc. It has prompted me to ask more questions about where this decision is going to take me. We can have a great plan, but are we making the necessary decisions to follow that plan? note: I get no commission from plugging this book, I just found it personally beneficial! ;-) Trust you have a blessed New Year!

Thanks also for the extra example you just gave of how your start-up management questions can be applied to personal life management. Good stuff. Thanks for the great article (and blog), Jason.

As another example, the bit about "should I hire someone" could mean "can I outsource this," sort of in a Tim Ferris manner. Cheers.
